Had a similar experience in London for Back in Time Live 2002, if you look on the Press Play On Tape website you can see them worshipping under a C= sign over a shop... but the shop sold ladies' clothes...

Wonder how they got away with that one ? "Ladies Clothes".. youd think the symbol would be trademarked and owned by Ironstone.

Two minor points.

1. It was in 2002. It was before Ironstone/Tulip interfered.
2. The logo had been there since the 1980's, when the shop had sold computers/TVs/electronics.

Read original post. Remove foot from mouth. Think before typing.

MY original post, which mentions the year 2002... sorry if my previous post sounded a bit harsh...
